After taking the photos and returning home, no one disobeyed Zhou Zhigang's order even though Qian Wen was not around.
I came back at noon and had a quick bite, and then everyone was ordered to clean up.
Every place I can think of has been cleaned, and I have been busy until now.
As soon as they sat down, Qian Wen came back. The timing was perfect.
Zheng Juan, who came to his side, gently pulled him to stop stimulating Zhou Zhigang.
Qian Wen gave Zheng Juan a warm smile to reassure her and shook the thing in his hand.
"Kangkang, Grandma Qu and Grandpa Ma gave you the delicious food. Let's see what you want to eat and put the rest in the storage room."
"Dad, are you going to see Grandma Qu and the others?" Kangkang ran out of the arms of his aunt Hao Dongmei, looking at the things in his hand like a kitten.
"Well, let's go to celebrate the New Year after the new year." He handed the things to Kangkang and asked him to look through them to see what he wanted to eat.
Qian Wen checked the time. It was almost half past six and it was getting dark.
It's time to think about what to eat.
Anyway, Father Hao won't come today, so waiting is in vain.
Zhou Zhigang didn't want to get angry with him, so he looked at his eldest son Zhou Bingyi beside him and ordered, "Bingyi, it seems it's almost time. Go and guard the crossing.
This light lettering piece is now like a maze, the road is difficult to navigate, and there is no one to guide me. Dongmei's parents are afraid that they will not find our home."
"Well, okay dad." Zhou Bingyi stood up in response.
"Dad, I'll go too." Hao Dongmei also followed.
Looking at Zhou Zhigang's arrangements, Qian Wen said nothing, just give it a try.
"Are you coming with Bingkun?" Zhou Bingyi looked at him.
Qian Wen shook his head and said, "Wear gloves and a hat. Don't freeze."
Soon the two went out.
Zheng Juan took Qian Wen and sat aside, waiting quietly with everyone.
"Brother-in-law." Guangming grinned at him.
"I forgot to ask when I came back yesterday, how was your studies?
Do you need your brother-in-law to give you extra lessons these two days?
Although he is not as professional as a school teacher, my brother-in-law is still able to handle suspected and complicated diseases."
Guangming is not young anymore. He is now a junior high school student. According to his age, he should be in the second year of high school.
It's just that Guangming has been blind since he was a child, and he has fallen far behind his peers. Even if he burns the midnight oil and works hard at night, he still can't catch up.
Guangming shook his head, "Fortunately, if there is anything I don't know, I can ask the teacher."
"That's good, we are not afraid of being slow to learn, but we are afraid of not learning.
Take your time, don't rush." Qian Wen said with a smile.
The light really made him and Zheng Juan worry less. It was enough to worry about before. After regaining his sight, he could take care of himself, and it became even more worry-free. He was also responsible for taking care of the family.
Guangming looked at the way he was hesitating to speak, as if he wanted to say something, but was afraid that he would scold him, so he didn't dare to say it.
Qian Wen looked strange. He turned to look at Zheng Juan and saw that she seemed to know something. Did something happen that he didn't know? He looked at Guangming and asked, "Is there anything you want to tell your brother-in-law?"
"
Guangming scratched his head in annoyance, hesitated for a while, looked at him carefully, then lowered his head and whispered, "I...I don't plan to go to high school?"
"Why, Guangming?"
Qian Wen hadn't spoken yet. Zheng's mother, who kept laughing, asked without believing her ears.
Cai Xiaoguang looked at him and said, "Guangming, you go to high school so you can get into a good university.
The purpose of going to a good university is to be able to control your future.
You see, your sister, your brother-in-law, me, your sister Zhou Rong, all go to college to create a better future for themselves.
All difficulties are solved bit by bit. If you have anything to tell us, we are here.
Do you think studying is too difficult and you can’t keep up, so you don’t want to go to high school?”
But Qian Wen frowned, causing Guangming, who had been paying attention to him, to tighten his hands. He had always been the person Guangming relied on. When he said that he could not go to high school, he had guessed that Thunder would be furious.
As soon as Zheng Juan shook his hand, Qian Wen smiled at her and patted her hand to reassure her.
"Is someone bullying you at school?" Qian Wen looked at Guangming and said seriously.
This is what he can think of. Guangming has always been an obedient and sensible representative, and will never get close to being willful. Today, he suddenly said that he did not want to go to high school.
Now that his family has no financial difficulties, apart from being bullied, he really can't think of why Guangming suddenly said this.
"Did someone bully you in Guangming?" Zhou Zhigang, who turned his head to ignore him, asked in a deep voice.
Suddenly everyone looked towards the light.
Zheng Juan opened her mouth slightly, and Guangming was also a little confused about whether to laugh or cry.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to explain, there was a commotion at the door.
"Dad, Mom, here we come." Zhou Rong, who was watching at the door, saw a car coming this way and hurried back and shouted.
Qian Wen was shocked when he heard the sound, and turned his head to look at the door of his home in disbelief.
Sister-in-law Hao Dongmei’s parents are here?
No, shouldn't they be able to come?
What happened in the meantime?
Are you sure you didn't misread it? Secretary Huang is here?
Qian Wen saw no one who was skeptical.
Zheng Juan saw someone coming to the house and hurriedly whispered in his ear, "Guangming has not been bullied. He has his own plans for not going to high school.
I’ll have a little chat with you tonight.”
"Guangming?" Qian Wen looked at Guangming.
Guangming nodded hurriedly, "No one bullied me."
"It's good as long as no one bullies us. Our old Zhou family doesn't cause trouble and we're not afraid of trouble." Qian Wen said in a deep voice.
"Yes." Zhou Zhigang responded.
Seeing that Guangming was fine, Hao Dongmei's parents came again. Zhou Zhigang stood up and arranged his clothes, then looked at the others, especially Qian Wen, and said, "This is the first time for Dongmei's parents to come, let's make a good impression."
"I know, Dad." Zhou Rong and Cai Xiaoguang responded hurriedly.
Others nodded.
"Bingkun?" Seeing that he remained silent, Zhou Zhigang asked.
"I know, don't worry, I'll be mute in a while." Qian Wen twitched his lips.
Ask him to say that he hasn't said anything yet, what should he say to please him? Thank you, I'm not familiar with it.
Zhou Zhigang nodded with satisfaction, turned around and led everyone towards the door.
At the door, there were two cars and a crowd of people.
Hao Dongmei’s parents, secretary, and security guard.
"Is this Bingyi's house?" Hao's father asked doubtfully, looking at the two-story building that was different from the surrounding ones.
"It's Bingyi's family. I heard from Dongmei that it was Bingyi's brother who built it." Hao's mother knew better and explained in her ear.
Father Hao nodded, raised his head and looked around. All he saw were low shacks. Except for the extra second floor, everything else had not changed at all. On the contrary, it was even worse than when he came there more than ten years ago.
When we arrived, the road was not easy to walk, very narrow and bumpy.
"Dad, in a moment..." Beside her, Hao Dongmei kicked the ground with her toes, wanting to say something.
"I know, we are sensible, don't worry." Hao's mother responded on behalf of Hao's father.
While agreeing, she thought of brother Zhou Bingyi whom she met at Secretary Ma's house today.
The guards looked around, and Secretary Huang stood behind the leader.
Zhou Zhigang, Li Suhua and others appeared at the door to greet them.
Zhou Zhigang was all smiles, and so were the others.
Qian Wen asked Kangkang to take Mingming and Yingying upstairs. He and Zheng Juan walked at the end, supporting Zheng's mother.
In the whole audience, he had the best attitude and the calmest attitude, as if he was a bystander.
The scene in front of me was the most vivid. This was a meeting between in-laws, and this was more like a big leader going to the countryside.
He shook his head. Although he didn't know why Hao's father and Hao's mother were here, which surprised him, he could already foresee what it would be like when they first met just now.
Father Hao and Mother Hao came today, looking very reluctant. They just didn't want their daughter to be caught in the middle and were not in a dilemma. The purpose was not to see any in-laws.
The purpose is not pure, and it looks awkward no matter how you do it.
Just like now.
As soon as Zhou Zhi came up to him, Hao's father even wanted to shake hands in a very businesslike manner, not letting go of his leadership style. If Hao Dongmei hadn't had quick eyesight and quick hands, she hurriedly took his arm and defused the gesture, the first meeting would have been hilarious.
Think of that image, shake your hand, and give it a good shake.
Is there someone below who should be taking pictures with their camera and publish it in the newspaper tomorrow?
Title: The friendly provincial governor came to see Zhou Zhigang, an eighth-grade veteran worker.
Thinking of this, Qian Wen couldn't help but smile inexplicably.
"Bingkun, what's wrong?" Zheng Juan looked at her strangely.
Qian Wen asked Zheng Juan to look forward, "Look, does it look like a meeting between in-laws?"
Mother Zheng looked at it and shook her head.
Zheng Juan looked at her and said nothing.
Anyway, when their families, Cai Xiaoguang's family and Lao Zhou's family met, both sides were closer and more enthusiastic than this. Now it seems a bit fake.
Just like Father Hao, his smile is very professional.
Well, Zheng Juan learned this word from Qian Wen.
Zhou Bingyi warmly introduced his family, Zhou Rong, Cai Xiaoguang, himself, Zheng's mother, and Guangming to Hao's father and Hao's mother.
Hao Dongmei also found that the scene was a bit stiff and tried to liven up the atmosphere.
When Qian Wen was introduced, Hao's father took another look. Hao's mother must have told him about their meeting this afternoon.
It was cold and dark outside. Zhou Zhigang pointed to his home and said, "My in-laws, my in-laws' mother, let's go in and chat. It's warm at home."
Father Hao nodded and walked at the front, followed by the others. Zhou Zhigang was half a step slower unconsciously.
Qian Wen looked at it and frowned.
Then, for the next hour, Qian Wen frowned even more.
Have you ever seen a secretary accompany your in-laws when they meet?
Have you ever seen in-laws meet, and instead of chatting about their sons and daughters, exchanging polite words and greetings, they just ask and answer questions, mostly chatting about how the photos are and how they are?
Have you ever seen in-laws meet and there is nothing to talk about after an hour of meeting? Have you ever had nothing to talk about?
Within an hour, Hao Dongmei's parents took their secretary and the security guards withdrew.
I'm really too busy, so I took some time out of my busy schedule to come and meet.
Zhou Zhigang's face no longer looked happy, and he didn't look happy at all when he was in front of his in-laws.
It's normal. I couldn't feel any human touch just now, and it didn't feel good to anyone.
From beginning to end, Hao's father didn't want to chat with Zhou Zhigang. It was more business-like and the meeting was over.
Of course they couldn't continue chatting, and Zhou Zhigang forced a smile on his face as they chatted.
He had no idea of getting close to each other, he just had a traditional feeling that after such a long time, he should meet his in-laws. It was as simple as that.
As for senior officials, he also knows that he is busy and understands it, but he is really troubled by the scene after meeting.
"Dad, let's eat." Li Suhua sighed and said.
She didn't want to mention anything and was heartbroken.
Zhou Zhigang walked into the back room silently and said nothing.
Zhou Rong, Cai Xiaoguang and the others looked at each other.
"How about I go see dad?" Zhou Rong said.
"Okay, Zhou Rong, Juan'er will heat up the meal, and there will be a meeting at the Zhou family after dinner!" Qian Wen, who was sitting next to him, suddenly said.
"Meeting?" Zhou Rong and the others looked at him blankly.
It was not easy to walk at night on the light-paper route, so Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei went to see off Hao's father and Hao's mother.
At the light word intersection.
A person suddenly ran out of the car parked on the side of the road. It was Hao Dongmei. With tears in her eyes, she yelled at the car, "You don't regard Bingyi's parents as your in-laws at all, so why are you here?"
If you put on a show for someone else, will it give you peace of mind?
Do you know how this will make Bingyi’s family view me?
look!
My parents are so high-ranking, they are high-ranking officials, and you are out of reach!"
Then Zhou Bingyi hurriedly rushed down, "Dongmei!"
"Don't persuade me!"
While they were having dinner, the two came back.
But Hao Dongmei was not very happy, and showed signs of crying, with red eyes.
Zhou Bingyi tried his best to pretend that nothing was wrong.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that this is probably a quarrel, but they don’t know who the opponent is.
"Where's dad?" Zhou Bingyi asked as he entered the room without seeing Zhou Zhigang.
"Inside the room." Zhou Rong pointed to the closed door. It was dark inside.
"I'm going to see dad." Zhou Bingyi said with a sinking heart.
"Farewell, you are so upset, why don't you go and tell dad what to say?" Qian Wen said.
"Bingkun." Zhou Bingyi was a little annoyed.
"Your dad is asleep, don't go." Li Suhua said aloud. She was also very uncomfortable today.
Zhou Bingyi stopped talking.
Hao Dongmei, who was standing aside, was a little dizzy, her mind was spinning in circles, and everything in her eyes was moving.
She regretted quarreling with her mother and letting them come to Zhou's house. It was better not to come.
If not, at least there would still be room for fantasy, and now all that's left is naked contempt and class hierarchy.
She thought that Lao Zhou's family would have objections to her in the future and would not want to see her, so Zhou Bingyi gradually alienated her.
Her head was dizzy, she stumbled, staggered, and fell.
"Dongmei." Zhou Bingyi hurriedly helped her.
Others also ran over.
"Let me take a look." Zheng Juan came up and said.
"I'm fine, I'm sorry." Hao Dongmei pursed her lips and cried.
"This has nothing to do with you. Let Juan'er show you what's going on." Zhou Bingyi hurriedly advised.
Zheng Juan reached out and took Hao Dongmei's pulse. After a while, she frowned solemnly and looked at Qian Wen, "Bingkun, come and take a look."
This scared everyone. Was he seriously ill?
Qian Wen came over strangely and took Hao Dongmei's pulse. He also had a strange expression after a while.
Zhou Bingyi, who was worried on the side, was anxious, but he was afraid of being disturbed, so he could only watch anxiously without making a sound.
Qian Wen took his pulse carefully again, and after confirming it was correct, let go.
"Bingkun, what happened to Dongmei?" Zhou Bingyi asked hurriedly.
Qian Wen looked at him and shook his head, and Zhou Bingyi's heart skipped a beat.
"Bingkun, your sister-in-law..." Zhou Bingyi was filled with sadness.
"Get ready to be a dad."
These words came from the sky like a palm, and Zhou Bingyi was stunned by the Tathagata palm.
Even the sad Hao Dongmei was stunned, one after another.
"ah?"
"Bingkun said that my sister-in-law is here. Brother, why don't you get her up quickly? It's very cold underground?" Zheng Juan said with a smile.
The pulse was only about a month old. Just now she was not sure, so she asked Qian Wen to take it. Now that it was confirmed, she reported the good news with a smile.
"Really Byungkun?"
"real?"
Hao Dongmei and Zhou Bingyi looked at him in disbelief.
"Don't let the pregnant woman's mood fluctuate too much in the first three months. I will prescribe an anti-fetal medicine tomorrow." Qian Wen said with a smile.
I really didn't expect that the child would come at this time.
"But...but I didn't have any reaction?" Hao Dongmei said a little incoherently. You must know that she is a professional obstetrician.
"It's just over a month old. It's normal to be unresponsive. The pulse is very weak, but I do have a baby." Qian Wen confirmed.
His medical skills are guaranteed, official and trustworthy.
"I'm going to be a dad, I'm going to be a dad~" Zhou Bingyi suddenly picked up Hao Dongmei and spun around.
Zheng Juan was frightened and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her. Hao Dongmei's body couldn't bear the pain. She was crying this time and there was really no way to save her.
Hao Dongmei was also startled and hurriedly slapped her husband Zhou Bingyi.
"Children...be careful kids..."
Nothing is more important than children now.
"Oh oh oh." Zhou Bingyi woke up suddenly and broke into a cold sweat. He hurriedly put down his wife and gently stroked Hao Dongmei's belly a few times to say sorry.
"What are you yelling about?" Zhou Zhigang opened the door and came out feeling unhappy.
"The winter plums are here." Li Suhua announced the good news.
Zhou Zhigang was stunned.
"What?"
"Dongmei is pregnant."
"real?"
"Um!"
The solemnity and depression caused by Hao's father and Hao's mother just now dissipated, and the family became cheerful.
Sister-in-law Hao Dongmei has become the key protection target in the family.
It was late at night, and some people in the family were asleep.
The study on the second floor is brightly lit and the door is closed.
Qian Wen, Zheng Juan, Zhou Bingyi, Zhou Rong and Cai Xiaoguang were sitting in a row.
Qian Wen stood up and looked at everyone, looked around, and looked at everyone.
"The first meeting of Lao Zhou's family was held today.
The theme of the meeting is my sister-in-law’s parents.”
Zhou Bingyi heard what he wanted to say.
"I finished speaking, you are talking." Qian Wen looked at him.
Zhou Bingyi sighed and listened quietly.
Qian Wen looked around at everyone again, then slammed the table.
Bang~
The sound exploded.
Several people were startled and looked at him in fright.
"I'm very unhappy tonight. I'm in a very bad mood, very bad. I feel aggrieved and depressed!"
